As the world reckons with the COVID-19 pandemic, many other public health crises have become increasingly apparent in cities across the nation. Join the UC Alumni Association Academic Health Center alumni engagement team for a webinar series that explores these crises with an attempt to understand the causes and consequences of health inequities.

The fourth session of five in the health inequities series is “Mass (Parental) Incarceration and Child Health Equity” presented by Samantha Boch, PhD, RN, Assistant Professor, UC College of Nursing and affiliate faculty, James M. Anderson Center for Health Systems Excellence, Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Medical Center. Our presenter, a previous prison nurse, will provide an overview of the size and basic terms associated with the US correctional system including her experiences working inside several prisons in Ohio. She will delve into how and why mass incarceration should be viewed as an important structural determinant of health and wellbeing, especially for children who have incarcerated parents. She will also present findings from her research and will conclude with a list of resources for families affected by parental/household incarceration
